Taron Johnson gets hit in head with football during NFL Scouting Combine

09 March 2018

After playing like a potential top-10 overall pick during the season, Brown's lack of effort showed in drills and coupled with a clear lack of focus during his Combine training, reflected poorly on his prospects.

Two of the defensive backs that could be headed the Rams way include Colorado's Isaiah Oliver and Iowa's Joshua Jackson. Sports Illustrated's Peter King now projects the linebacker will go in the late third or early fourth round of the draft - believing that Griffin could have an immediate impact on special teams regardless of where he ends up.

FDA OKs BRCA Consumer Test
The FDA today granted authorization for a direct-to-consumer test for a highly selected group of cancer-associated BRCA mutations. The manufacturer also submitted data on user comprehension, which showed instructions and reports were easily understood.

Saquon Barkley stole the show at the NFL Combine among running backs, and the elite Penn State runner will nearly certainly be drafted in the first four picks of the NFL Draft. But with strong performances in the 40-yard dash (4.58), vertical and broad jumps, three-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle, Davenport made a strong case for his athleticism. His performance in Indianapolis should help quiet those with concerns. The 6-1, 227-pound prospect put up 20 bench presses and ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash.

Maybe not. Cleveland is reportedly considering taking the best player in the draft at No. 1. Coming off the worst two-year stretch in the history of the National Football League - and with two selections in the top four of the upcoming draft - this is the year Cleveland has to draft a quarterback. Chubb may have risen to a high second round pick after his Combine performance.

James had a broad jump of 11 feet while hitting 40 inches on the vertical. In addition, he posted a solid 4.43 in the 40-yard dash, boosting his resume for man-to-man coverage. He ran the 40 in 4.58 seconds with a 10-yard split of 1.6 seconds. Brown is able to compensate for his lack of athleticism on the field with his wide base and wingspan, but the low numbers he posted in Indianapolis will be an anchor on his draft grade, most likely out of the top-two rounds.

The Browns still get a new quarterback in this scenario, landing Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield at No. 4 overall, while the New York Giants finally get their own star at the game's most important position, going with UCLA's Josh Rosen at No. 6 overall.
